Black Flag Nervous Breakdown CD (1978)

Six Pack album

$9.79

A pivotal record in the development of American punk music, NERVOUS BREAKDOWN is both Black Flag's first record and the first release on Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn's prolific SST Records. Recorded in a single session in January 1978 by the band's original lineup of Ginn, singer Keith Morris (soon to decamp to the Circle Jerks), bassist Chuck Dukowski, and drummer Robo, these four speedy Ginn-penned tunes roar past in a blur of hyperspeed guitars, alienated lyrics, shouted vocals, and maniacal rhythms. Streamlining the already-barebones ...

Black Flag Jealous Again CD (1980)

Six Pack CD music

$11.39

Black Flag's second EP, 1980's JEALOUS AGAIN finds the band with a new lead singer, Chavo, whose Everypunk vocals were less distinctive than those of his predecessor, future Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris, but perhaps better suited to guitarist Greg Ginn's unpretentious anthems of punk life. The five speedy and short songs on JEALOUS AGAIN are practically the archetypes of hardcore punk. Where the songs on NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, the band's 1978 debut, were beholden to British punk tropes, these more streamlined songs are harder, faster, louder, and considerably more powerful. For those looking for value, all five songs from JEALOUS AGAIN, plus the band's first and ...

Black Flag Damaged CD (1981)

Six Pack music CDs

$13.79

Perhaps the quintessential California punk band, and one of the founding fathers of hardcore, Black Flag is to America what the Sex Pistols are to the U.K. DAMAGED is the band's most loved album, featuring some of its best-known songs. Though the group's speedy, full-frontal assault laid the groundwork for the faster-and-louder generation of punks to come, the guitar interplay of Greg Ginn and Dez Cadena is still melodic, and often even hook-filled. The songs, delivered in an impassioned rant by a young Henry Rollins, are classic Cal-punk, mocking American complacency ("Six Pack," "TV Party") with a winning combination of anger and satire, as well as an ingratiating sense of structure. Also included on the disc is the early, pre-Rollins EP JEALOUS AGAIN, on which the band similarly rages against the machine, though the attack ...

Black Flag TV Party CD (1982)

Six Pack songs

$6.39

Hindsight usually emphasizes the more strident, aggressive aspects of Black Flag's career. The image of Henry Rollins' muscular, tattooed physique and glowering face as he stalked the stage screaming and spitting defiant and often angry lyrics, backed by Greg Ginn's screaming, almost violent, metal-edged guitar, is the first thing that usually comes to mind. And so sometimes we forget that especially in the early days, Black Flag could be pretty damn goofy. Many of the band's early songs were silly/satiric sketches of suburban California life, but none were more ridiculous than the Ramones-meet-the-Dictators 1981 single "TV Party." Ginn's odes to cheap beer, potato chips, and a remote control--complete with shouted backing vocals calling out the names of favorite shows--are simultaneously celebratory and sardonic, ...

Black Flag First Four Years CD (1983)

Six Pack album

$13.79

1983's THE FIRST FOUR YEARS is a handy compilation of Black Flag's first three seven-inch EPs, 1978's NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, 1980's JEALOUS AGAIN, and 1981's SIX PACK, along with two tracks from compilations and both sides of 1981's "Louie Louie"/Damaged I" single. All told, it contains the band's entire output from its pre-Henry Rollins era, though this has not stopped SST Records from reissuing the three EPs in a seemingly endless stream of formats and combinations. Before Rollins brought his more serious and political concerns to the band, Black Flag was a sometimes-goofy punk band in the tradition of the Dictators. Keith Morris and Dez Cadena, who (separately) sing most of this material, later spent time with the Circle Jerks and Redd Kross, respectively, and the sometimes pop-tinged punk of those bands is a good comparison ...

Black Flag Live '84 CD (1984)

Six Pack CD music

$13.69

Recorded live at the Stone, San Francisco, California on August 26, 1984. Originally released only on cassette, Black Flag's LIVE '84 captures songs recorded during the band's near-constant touring during that year. Rather than capturing one show, as the later WHO'S GOT THE 10 1/2? would do, this collection compiles eight lengthy songs from a variety of concerts. Recording quality and energy levels vary, but this is a powerful document of one of California's best punk bands during an important period of its career. By 1984, singer Henry Rollins, guitarist Greg Ginn, new bassist Kira Roessler, and drummer Bill Stevenson had moved away from speedy hardcore into a slower, Sabbath-inflected blend of stomping tempos, slashing guitar solos (often quite lengthy, as on the instrumental opener, "The Process of Weeding Out"), and Roessler's melodic, funk- and jazz-influenced bass. LIVE '84 is very different from early albums like DAMAGED, but ...

Horace Andy Meets Naggo Morris/Wayne Jarrett -- Mini Showcase CD (2002)

Six Pack music CDs

$14.69
This intriguing reissue (packaged to look like a vintage Jamaican dub plate) brings together two samplers of 12" singles from Lloyd "Bullwackie" Barnes' New York-based Wackies label, both of which were originally released in 1983. The first sampler (originally called Wayne Jarrett-Mini Showcase) features five tracks by Wayne Jarrett, along with dubs of three of the songs, while the second (originally entitled Horace Andy Meets Naggo Morris) offers two songs each (and their corresponding dubs) from Horace Andy and Naggo Morris. Spliced together like this, the resulting album has a tremendous cohesion, and feels ...
